PAGADIAN CITY, Zamboanga del Sur — A personnel of the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) was caught after allegedly extorting money from a business owner in Zamboanga City . Tamayo asked that the name of the business owner be withheld as they are still doing a follow-up investigation of the incident. Last May 13, the business owner went to the BIR office to clarify and submitted documents to justify a lower tax assessment. The business owner eventually sensed she was being taken for a ride and sought the assistance of the NBI. On Friday, the business owner delivered the remaining P500,000 to Albao, at the BIR office.
